The FIRST Name Game!

No, this isn’t next year’s Kickoff game show. It’s a small game developed by myself and Chris Jelly. The pressure is on as you have 10 seconds to figure out which team is right!

Team data comes straight from The Blue Alliance’s newly-announced API.

Remember to post your high scores here!

The game is a bit off…must be a code problem.

I was asked the number of two teams that I’m very familiar with (Hawaiin Kids and R7) and of the 4 choices, none of them were the correct number.

I just had the same problem.

It asked for the number of Team 500, but 500 wasn’t a choice. When I picked a choice it said the correct answer was 500.:confused:

Otherwise great way to waste time :smiley:

By the way it was definitely a mechanical problem, its never the programmer’s fault.

I got the same thing, not having a right choice of numbers for the team name.

I just got Hawaiian Kids come across and 359 was indeed an option.

EDIT: Now I see what people mean. I’m trying to figure it out now.

I also got this issue for some teams that I know.

If everyone can try it again. I think it’s fixed.

EDIT: You can’t refresh manually. You have to let the timer run out to clear the session.

Pretty cool, how long did it take you?:cool:

Yep, it’s fixed now.

I think I know how to make this better (hint: it involves more of the API).

It actually took about 30 minutes with everything. The problem people were having should be fixed. Use the skip button instead of refreshing with F5 or your browser button because it screws up how the game tracks the correct answer.

Dave,

You make this so it queries data for a given competition. It would be a good way to students (and mentors for that matter) to learn the teams from a regional/division and therefore be more informed when scouting teams.

thats a good idea the judges will like that

I was thinking the same thing, with the addition bit of having the robot picture of the correct answer shown.

Fun game! I got 20.
It might be better if it only took away one point when you get a wrong guess, instead of taking away all your points.

It seemed like it wasn’t completely random. I got the same ones again several times over.

I had an extinct team number come up as one of the choices.

also I think variation is the key, photo question then a location question then a regional question, etc.

also maybe you could include:

past awards,
rookie year,
logo photos,
sponsors,

this is really great and the options are endless.

I am still getting some issues. it just told me that Miscar was team 1219 and team 558 was from Nashville TN

Awesome work. I’m glad to see the API is going to good use! :slight_smile:

I think I may have fixed more problems. Please respond here if you guys find any more problems. This is what happens when you code late a night ;D

EDIT: I’m considering the other ideas, but I want to make sure all the bugs are out of this first.

Present best: 11.

(Now to find a score that goes to 12…)
